Canada were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after falling 3-0 to Morocco, and coach Jesse Marsch explained why he decided not to use Alphonso Davies. Canada’s historic World Cup run came to an end with a 3-0 loss to Morocco in the Round of 16 at Houston Stadium, and head coach Jesse Marsch addressed why star fullback Alphonso Davies didn’t feature in the loss. Speaking after the match in his press conference, Marsch explained that a minor scare in the days leading up to the game led the coaching staff to hold Davies back entirely rather than risk his recovery from the hamstring injury that had already cost him the group stage. “He had a hamstring injury that he was recovering from. He was on a very linear path up until two days ago, and then he felt a little something. It turned out that it wasn’t anything significant, but he didn’t feel right, and we didn’t want to stress it,” Marsch said. “But other than that, the progression and the routine that we put him through in his return to play was really good and really disciplined”. Despite not being able to count on Davies for most of the tournament, Canada put together a historic campaign, reaching the knockout stage for the first time in the nation’s history. Jesse Marsch says that Alphonso Davies was on a "linear path" upwards in his injury rehabilitation before the left-back said he "didn't feel right" ahead of Canada-Morocco. #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/2ZQbStXWFW— TSN (@TSN_Sports) July 4, 2026 Davies’ injury-interrupted road through the tournament Davies’ World Cup had been a story of careful management from the start. The Bayern Munich fullback suffered a hamstring injury during the Champions League semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain back in May, an issue serious enough to keep him out of Canada’s entire group stage while he worked through a structured rehabilitation program. He finally made his tournament debut in the Round of 32 win over South Africa, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute and immediately causing problems for a tiring South African defense. That cameo raised hopes he could feature more prominently against Morocco, but the scare picked up in training two days before the match was enough for Marsch to hold him out entirely, even with Canada’s season on the line. In the end, Canada couldn’t find a way past a resilient Morocco side, falling 3-0 to bring a landmark tournament to a close, one that still included the country’s first-ever World Cup win and first appearance in the knockout stage.
Canada’s World Cup run ended without Alphonso Davies playing against Morocco, reviving debate over the injury that derailed the team’s biggest starComing into this World Cup, Canada’s hopes hinged on the form of their one world-class player, Alphonso Davies. This has been the case for every major competition they have entered since he made his international debut in 2017, and it’s easy to see why: over the last nine years, Davies has transformed Canada’s fortunes.After being grouped in each of the first three Gold Cups in the 2010s, Canada have reached the quarter-final or further in five consecutive installments. The Bayern Munich star was also at the fore as they qualified for the 2022 World Cup, the first time they reached men’s football’s biggest stage since 1986. And their fourth-place finish at the 2024 Copa América involved a fit and firing Davies. Continue reading...
Alphonso Davies has not been named in Canada's starting XI, leaving many wondering why the Bayern Munich star will begin such a crucial knockout match on the bench as the co-host aims to continue its remarkable tournament run. Canada faces one of the biggest matches in its soccer history when it meets Morocco in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, but one major selection decision has immediately caught fans’ attention. Alphonso Davies has not been named in Canada’s starting XI, leaving many wondering why the Bayern Munich star will begin such a crucial knockout match on the bench as the co-host aims to continue its remarkable tournament run. Canada arrives in Houston full of confidence after claiming its first-ever men’s World Cup knockout victory, edging South Africa 1-0 thanks to Stephen Eustáquio’s dramatic stoppage-time winner. That result extended their scoring streak to six consecutive World Cup matches, highlighting the team’s steady growth on the biggest stage. Morocco, meanwhile, continues to build on the momentum created by its memorable 2022 campaign. The Atlas Lions eliminated the Netherlands in a penalty shootout to reach the Round of 16 and remain unbeaten in the tournament despite undergoing significant changes since reaching the semifinals four years earlier. Why Alphonso Davies isn’t starting The biggest surprise before kickoff came when the Reds confirmed that Alphonso Davies would not start against Morocco despite having returned from injury in the previous round.

The injury forced the Canadian captain to miss the entire World Cup group stage as he followed a carefully managed rehabilitation program. Davies finally returned during Canada‘s Round of 32 victory over South Africa, entering as a 75th-minute substitute. Although his appearance lasted only 15 minutes, his pace and attacking threat immediately gave Canada another dimension during the closing stages before Eustaquio scored the decisive goal. Rather than risk overloading the star defender in his first start after such a lengthy absence, head coach Jesse Marsch and Canada’s medical staff have chosen to keep Davies available as a potential impact substitute later in the match. Alphonso Davies of Canada. Strategy that has already proved successful Canada’s coaching staff believes using Davies later in matches can maximize his strengths while reducing the risk of aggravating his injury. Against South Africa, Davies entered with fresh legs against tiring defenders and immediately stretched the field with his pace. His movement created additional attacking space as Les Rouges pushed for a late winner, a plan that eventually paid off when Eustaquio found the decisive goal deep into stoppage time. The same blueprint could be even more valuable against Morocco, whose disciplined defensive shape has frustrated opponents throughout the tournament. Introducing Davies during the second half could give Canada a fresh attacking weapon when spaces begin to open.
After missing all three of Canada's group games at the World Cup, Alphonso Davies is set to return against South Africa in the last 32. The post Marsch: Returning Davies a huge boost for Canada’s World Cup hopes appeared first on SoccerNews.
Los Angeles date offers Bayern Munich player the chance to heal a wound which opened at this same stadium last MarchThe decoy days are over – apparently. Alphonso Davies made his first media appearance of this World Cup in Los Angeles on Saturday lunchtime and promised the opening last-32 game of the tournament would be the stage for his long-awaited return.For Canada, who face fellow knockout newcomers South Africa here in a Sunday matinee, it could not come at a more crucial time. For his head coach, Jesse Marsch, who had used Davies’s fitness as an apparent ruse to distract his Swiss counterparts in Vancouver this week, it’s opportune too. That gimmick didn’t work. Les Rouges suffered a first defeat of their own World Cup and were sent down south. Continue reading...
For the second consecutive World Cup, there are questions about Alphonso Davies, arguably the best player Canada has produced, and his contributions to the men’s team. The difference this time around is that he hasn’t played a minute.
With Canada’s home World Cup on the line, Jesse Marsch used his captain, Alphonso Davies, as a “decoy”. A shrewd Switzerland side, alas, never took the bait and so the switch is now Marsch’s lot as his team are forced to become road warriors.A pulsating second half in the sauna of BC Place followed a dogfight of a first. At the end of it all, despite a gatecrashing intervention by the Canada supersub Promise David, Switzerland had won Group B and with it the rights to call Vancouver home through the first week of the knockout stages.
